Hi there! My name is Kristen, and I’m based in Chicago, IL. I work in Business Operations at a growing startup, but I started my career in consulting at EY. I studied at Indiana University and spent a semester abroad in Milan, which is really where my love for travel, art history, and Italian culture began. I come from an Italian-American family—my great-grandparents immigrated from Italy in the early 1900s—and that heritage is a big part of why I love exploring Italy and learning more about where I come from.
